A 9-DOF Tractor-Semitrailer Dynamic Handling Model for Advanced Chassis Control Studies

Gäfvert, Magnus LU and Lindgärde, Olof (2001) In Technical Reports TFRT-7597
Abstract
A nonlinear dynamic handling model for a tractor-semitrailer combination vehicle is presented in this report. The equations of motion are derived from the fundamental equations of dynamics in Euler's formulation without approximations. The model is modular in the sense that it is easy to change axle configuration, tyre model, suspension model, or to add new features. The primary aim of the model is simulations of handling scenarios with active yaw control, using unilateral braking and possibly tractor rear wheel steering. Other applications of the model may include real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations of tractor-semitrailer handling scenarios. The model is formulated as a state-space model that may be implemented in standard... (More)
